The translation data lives under the registry path:<\/p><p><br \/><em>HKLM\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\IdentityStore\\Cache\\&lt;SID&gt;\\IdentityCache<\/em><br \/><em>The Entra SID-to-Name Endpoint<\/em><br \/><em>Under the hood, Windows reaches out to a new Entra endpoint:<\/em><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/login.microsoftonline.com\/&lt;tenant&gt;\/sidtoname\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>https:\/\/login.microsoftonline.com\/&lt;tenant&gt;\/sidtoname\u00a0<\/em><\/a><\/p><p><br \/>Windows builds a device-signed JSON Web Token (JWT) proving its identity and includes the unknown SID in the request. Entra responds with the corresponding identity name and display information. If the lookup succeeds, Windows updates its local cache \u2013 meaning the SID will appear correctly from that point forward.
